Opposition leader Taylor pledges major immigration cuts ahead of NSW election
Federal opposition leader Angus Taylor vows to deliver "one of the biggest immigration cuts in Australian history" as Coalition seeks to regain ground six months before NSW state poll.
Angus Taylor, leader of the federal opposition, told the NSW Liberal party state council in Sydney on Saturday that a Coalition government under his leadership would implement sweeping immigration reductions. Taylor criticised the current Labor government as "socialist in all but name" and "utterly failing the nation," while acknowledging the previous Coalition government had shortcomings.
The announcement comes six months ahead of the New South Wales state election, as the Coalition attempts to rebuild support. Taylor stated: "We will not allow the ideologues and activists to deny the truth" and promised to "end this lunacy" under a Coalition government he would lead.
